ICES Data Repository

The ICES Data Repository consists of record-level, coded and linkable health data sets. It encompasses much of the publicly funded administrative health services records for the Ontario population eligible for universal health coverage since 1986 and is capable of integrating research-specific data, registries and surveys. Currently, the repository includes health service records for as many as 13 million people. Files in the ICES Data Repository are described in the Data Dictionary. This includes ICES General Use Data, as well as ICES Controlled Use Data. Datasets obtained by ICES for specific project(s) (project-specific data) are not described in the Data Dictionary. The ICES Data Dictionary is an essential resource for anyone doing research at ICES. The information in this Data Dictionary is almost entirely based on the metadata belonging to the datasets described.

ICES 数据库存储库由记录级别的编码和可链接的健康数据集组成，涵盖了自1986年以来符合条件的安大略省全民健康保险人群中的大部分公立行政健康服务记录，并能整合特定研究的数据、登记册和调查。目前，该存储库包括多达1300万人的健康服务记录。ICES 数据库中的文件在数据字典中进行了描述，这包括ICES通用用途数据以及ICES受控用途数据。为特定项目（项目特定数据）获取的ICES数据集在数据字典中未作描述。ICES 数据字典是任何在ICES进行研究的必要资源。本数据字典中的信息几乎全部基于所描述数据集的元数据。
